It's pretty much an inverse of the "say a good thing about a channel you hate" thread
Anyways, I'll start:
ESPN: They have too much of a traditional powers bias. Case in point, I guarantee you that tonight's sportcenter will have a whole 10 story on Tim Tebow and his Florida career (which was great, don't get me wrong) and how he's one of the best college football players ever, etc, etc, etc. while poor TCU may only get a thirty second highlight of their game and a two minute analysis of how they're gonna throw off the entire BCS system.
NFL Network: It's not really a complaint as much as a wish that they would play more classic games for my own personal nostalgia trips of games from the 90s and early 2000s

USA shows NCIS and House way too much. That's really the only bad thing I can think about when it comes to USA.

ESPN might as well come out and tell us "Your team is having a phenominal year! But they're not in the Big Ten, so we don't give a f***! F***you, Oregon!" |

Nick at Nite has the rights to many shows but insists on showing one show ALL NIGHT for weeks before randomly changing to another.

Teletoon - please put Wolverine and the X-Men on a less retarded time and show it more than just once a week.

I don't disagree but speaking as a Big Ten fan I don't see ESPN/ABC fawning over anyone but Ohio State. The College Football pecking order seems to be: 1. SEC 2. Texas 3. Big XII (the rest) 3.USC (most recent years) 4. Ohio State 5. Big Ten (the rest) 6. Pac Ten (the rest) 7. Big East 8. ACC 9. Anything left. So really it's not like the Big Ten is getting built as this amazing conference. It's really just about Ohio State. |

Comedy Central still shows Reno 911 on occasion. And I loved ESPN before it became 23 hours of LaBron James and 1 hour of the rest of sports.

Still, it's frustrating to see your team have a season where a spot in the Rose Bowl is on the line in the annual Civil War....and yet the national sports media could give a damn less since you're not from the east Coast. |

Let's face it man, the media, and the general public lost interest in the Pac-10 representative in the Rose Bowl after USC was knocked out of the running. And once they got knocked out, the only part of the Rose Bowl equation anyone cared for was Iowa vs. Ohio State. I think that list is the right order on how ESPN covers college football, except for a few things: 1) They talk about USC more than the rest of the Big XII, and they talk about Notre Dame a lot as well. I think their top 5 talked about subjects are: 1) SEC 2) Texas 3) USC 4) Notre Dame 5) Big XII South To be honest, except for those who follow the Big XII/Big XII North, I don't think anyone cares about them besides who they are sending to the Big XII Championship. |

Don't I know it. *sigh* Still....the Ducks get no respect...NO RESPECT, I tell ya. It feels like we're Bret Hart, working our asses off and putting on brilliant matches, but if Hogan (USC) isn't in the Main Event, no one cares about our conference.

It feels like we're Bret Hart, working our asses off and putting on brilliant matches, but if Hogan (USC) isn't in the Main Event, no one cares about our conference. I can SORT of understand why some people wouldn't care once USC was gone, USC has been in a BCS bowl game either the Rose Bowl or the actual BCS title game, for the better part of a decade now. They absolutely owned the Pac-10. So seeing a change of scenery has caused a response of, "Who the f*** are these guys?!" Also, funny thing I just realized, IF, and I do mean IF, both Oklahoma State and Oregon State made it to the BCS, which won't happen now....damn it....we'd have all 3 major schools who had the initials of OSU in the BCS for the first time ever. Hell, two of them would've been facing off against each other! Oh well, at least Oklahoma State is headed towards one of the major non-BCS bowl games(probably Cotton bowl). |

We will not speak of such an abomination happening though. The infidel Beavers shall meet their defeat at the great green and yellow hands of the almighty Ducks! ;D |

Tru TV shows "Most Shocking" and "World's Wildest Police Videos" WAY too much.
SyFy has too many commercial breaks.
